One of my friends pointed out after seeing "Van Helsing" a few years ago that a new topos in vampire mythology is that werewolves and vampires hate each other - a theme that emerges in the Underworld series, I believe, and definitely also in (the latter three books of the) Twilight series.
Also something that's coming up is vampires causing pregnancies - it happened in Angel with Darla (can't remember the ins and outs of that one, though), in "Van Helsing" (drac and his wife have tons of sex, but since they're vampires, the babies are always born dead), and then in Twilight (Bella's pregnant by Edward in "Breaking Dawn", and the babies something monstrous, but I haven't gotten to the actual birth scene yet).
